Special Needs Sedation Dentistry in West Lawn, Chicago, IL

We realize that some patients have special needs that may require them to be sedated during their dental procedure. Although many dental offices are not trained or equipped to properly handle these cases, our staff are well-versed in special needs dental procedures and how to handle them with safety and comfort.

Some of the special needs that we have experience accommodating include dental fear, phobias, and physical disabilities such as down syndrome, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. Whatever the reason may be, our caring staff can discuss sedation options with you so that every patient is able to get the high-quality dental care they need and deserve.

Depending on the specific circumstances, sedation may be used during in-chair dental procedures or throughout the appointment while our hygienists work to complete a dental check-up and cleaning. The depth of anesthesia can be graded as mild, moderate, and deep. Which sedation depth we select will be dependent on the specific circumstances of each case.

We will also consider ventilation status and cardiovascular function when selecting any sedation medicine.

We strive to accommodate the needs of every patient. If you or someone you love will require sedation or other special consideration at their next dental visit, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We would be happy to discuss the various options you have for children and adult patients of all ages. If there are additional considerations, such as health problems, that may affect the use of sedation medicine, our staff will consult with you about potential alternatives.
